Pigeon

Data Pigeon helps cities decode their streets with real-time curb data and agentic AI to forecast congestion, manage construction, and improve planning through smart, actionable dashboards.

Hi! We’re Pigeon

🚧 The Problem

Most cities today are essentially blind to real-time street usage.
They don’t know:

  • Which roads are busiest
  • When congestion peaks
  • How construction and special events impact traffic

Without this data, planning and coordination become guesswork.

🐦 Our Solution

Pigeon adds a digital layer on top of city streets.

We ingest:

  • Live traffic feeds
  • Construction schedules
  • Event calendars

Then we translate them into clear, interactive dashboards.
Using AI-driven forecasts and agent-based simulations, planners can:

🔄 Predict Traffic Flow

  • See day-of-week and seasonal trends at a glance

🛠 Simulate Impacts

  • Visualize how road closures or lane changes will affect nearby corridors before permits are approved

📆 Optimize Scheduling

  • Identify the least disruptive hours for work based on forecasted traffic volumes

🤝 Coordinate Projects

City departments often operate in silos, leading to:

  • Redundant closures
  • Unnecessary delays

Pigeon’s project-lifecycle tracker flags overlapping permits and automatically alerts stakeholders to keep everyone in sync.

📊 Automated Reporting & Grants

Pigeon generates customizable reports including:

  • Traffic impact analyses
  • Before-and-after simulations
  • Cost estimates

These reports help cities apply for state or federal grants with confidence—and data to back it up.

💡 Why We Built It

As frequent commuters, we’ve sat through:

  • Unexpected detours
  • Redundant work zones
  • Unexplained traffic spikes

We knew there had to be a more proactive and transparent way to plan cities. That’s how Pigeon was born.

🧩 Challenges We’ve Overcome

  • Building reliable AI agents that navigate construction zones without “jumping” obstacles
  • Integrating disconnected data sources (e.g., Tray, Bolt, Novita) into a unified, real-time feed

🔮 What’s Next

We’re evolving Pigeon into a data broker for any organization operating on urban streets.

Imagine:

  • Waymo routing around congestion in real time
  • Amazon optimizing curbside pickups based on live availability and demand

Pigeon will power it all—with:

  • Up-to-the-minute curb regulations
  • Dynamic street data
  • Smart forecasts

Thank you. We can’t wait to show you what Pigeon can do. 🕊
